It weirds me out a little how Russians sometimes have a completely different name in German than in many other languages.
Rudolf Nureyev =>Rudolf Nurejew
Evgeny Igorevich Kissin => Jewgeni Igorewitsch Kissin
I know why but it still takes me a minute to process who they are 
Especially when Evgeny Kissin had a show with the American soprano Renee Flemming, why is he Jewgeni Kissin but she's not Renee Vlemming?
